I watched the Arizona Fall League Championship game last night. Good to see the young guys still going after it.
JJ Bleday (Vandy) was the only one I recognized.

More on Daniel Palka. Hard to believe Palka is almost 30.

Mid 30% on SO rate isn't great. At least he had two years in the MLB.

Not a new Pro Jacket, but a damn good Jacket. Nice story on Buck Farmer.

I'd love to see Buck back in MLB. Was a great #1 for us. The quotes that stood out to me:

“I went back to the mentality I had in 2019-2020,” Farmer said. “I took the mentality of, here it is. It’s me against you. Best of luck. This goes back to the snowball effect last year. Once I got off to such a rough start, I started to tip-toe around the strike zone because I was afraid of getting hurt."

“I was like 1-0 and 2-0 right off the bat an in the big leagues, that’s a recipe for disaster.”

Well, 1-0 or 2-0 against a hitter is a recipe for disaster in most competitive leagues. When Buck was at GT, he went after hitters and dominated them. That's what I want to see from GT pitchers. The best pitch a pitcher can throw is usually strike one.
